25 News Headlines To Keep Us All Informed

As a young child I enjoyed a list of interesting facts. When I grew up I learned that some of them are not facts at all. And yet, the more I read and study and research and look for answers in books, the more I realize there are even stranger things in this world that I am missing out on. The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know. It is an endless cycle of new information that makes me feel like my mind is never going to be big enough for all the things I want to know. The more I read, the more I realize that there are facts which I can't find in books. I need to see things and do things for myself. I need to travel, see the world, make my own discoveries. This book is a collection of facts that I have found along my journey and hope that it will be as fascinating as the one I first discovered as a child. So enjoy this list of interesting facts, but also enjoy the story of how it got here. And please share your interesting facts and stories in the comments below.
